I have a problem trying to play any game on BYOND. I am unsure if it is necessary to download Adobe flash player on Internet Explorer but whether or not I do install it I am incapable of getting any game to work. Joining a game causes the window with the title "BYOND: Your Game Is Starting" to pop up but no matter how long I wait the game does not start. http://i61.tinypic.com/22xm53.png

When I do install flash player the window ends up being completely black but still does not seem to load anything no matter how long I wait. I can close the window without it saying that it has stopped responding, however. http://i58.tinypic.com/fp33gi.png http://i59.tinypic.com/21mtdi1.png

I'm on the latest stable version of BYOND as well. (504.1234) http://i60.tinypic.com/10igl8h.png

I have looked around the forums for problems similar to mine & have tried a few in an attempt to make it work depending on what was suggested.

Some topics I have looked at & tried are:

I've also tried to reinstall BYOND only to still have the same issue.

Why am I incapable of playing on any game?

EDIT: While I was still writing this post I was eventually signed out automatically on the BYOND pager (I guess trying to be as thorough as possible on this issue is taking a very long time) while also leaving a game up to see if it would load (it did not). I eventually logged back in & retried to join the same game (I just wanted to see if it would be different this time since I was taking so long) but forgot about the first one & decided to close it. When it was closed the one I had just recently made started to load an advertisement. I was hopeful that I may not have to create a post on this issue which many seem to have but once it was done, however, it was stuck on this screen instead: http://i58.tinypic.com/2vi312p.png

Apparently, if I try to join twice on the same game and close the first one I can get an ad to display & get to the earlier screenshot but still cannot play anything.

I'm sorry that this seems lengthy &/or it seems that I have missed something I could have tried to fix this problem.
Will you be available tomorrow to debug this in a live session?
For some strange reason it's working now after I decided to try again today. I was reprompted to allow BYOND through the Windows firewall even though I swore that I saw it already on the list of allowed programs yesterday.

I'm sorry for wasting your time.
